Hello,
Here is the v2 patch for fixing ASSERTION failed at xfs_vm_write_failed() according
to Dave's comments, so I added Dave as SOB for credit.
Hi Michael,
Please kindly try at your at your convenience.
Thanks,

In xfs_vm_write_failed(), we evaluate the block_offset of pos with PAGE_MASK which
is 0xfffff000 as an unsigned long, that is fine on 64-bit system no matter the
request pos is 32-bit or 64-bit. However, on 32-bit system, the high 32-bit in it
will be masked off with (pos & PAGE_MASK) for 64-bit pos request. As a result, the
evaluated block_offset is incorrect which will trigger ASSERTION failure:
ASSERT(block_offset + from == pos);
In this case, we can get the following kernel Panic if the CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is enabled:

[ 68.706687] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
This patch fix the block_offset evaluation to clear the lower 12 bits as:
block_offset = pos >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT) << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT
Hence, the ASSERTION should be correct because the from offset in a page
is evaluated to have the lower 12 bits only.
Thanks Dave Chinner for pointing this out.
